Northumberland OPP – Trent Hills Man Charged As A Result of RIDE

In Police Blotter

On Sunday September 27, 2020, members of the Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) spot check on County Road 30 just south of the town of Campbellford.

Shortly before 7:00 am a white Chevrolet four door hatchback sedan approached the RIDE check point. The odour of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from the vehicle. A Roadside Screening Device (ASD) was administered to the vehicle operator at the scene resulting in a “fail” result. The driver was transported back to the OPP detachment in Brighton for further testing.

As a result of the investigation Wiley PHILPOTT (age 22) of Trent Hills Ontario, was arrested and charged with:

· Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on December 2, 2020.

The OPP remains committed to enforcing impaired driving laws and educating road users about the dangers posed by motorists who drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Drivers need to remember that any amount of alcohol or drugs can impair one’s ability to drive. Do your part in keeping our roads safe by planning ahead.
